You've never spoken to a religious person who believe that the end-times are near, have you?

It startles me how many of them there are, oh-so-sure, that any-day-now, God's kingdom will reign and every last little problem on this pale blue dot will vanish.

While I respect Jehova Witnesses for being generally decent people, their complete lack of political involvement due to the imminence of the rapture baffles me.

The notion that the world is going to end soon seems pretty popular to me, for religious and non-religious alike. With climate change and a possible President Trump, it can seem like the sky is falling. Though, I guess the religious see it as a good thing - at least for them.

Do you almost never watch TV? Because this is liberal heaven - a classic to watch repeatedly over the years.

I missed the first ep, and figured I'd go back & watch it when I could marathon thru the whole first season but then never did; but boy am I going to marathon-watch the whole series now, it looks great!

It is truly fantastic. Even it's low points are really good.
